Automotive Experts: It’s Not Too Late To Winterize Your Car!

MINEOLA, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — Time is running out, but there are still several things you can do to prepare your car — and yourself — if you’re on the road during this weekend’s impending snowstorm.

With a blast of winter coming our way, there are things you can do right now to make sure you and your car stay safe, CBS 2’s Carolyn Gusoff reported Friday.

AAA New York says it’s time to make a list and check it twice – for your car, especially with a winter storm warning in affect for much of the Tri-State Area this weekend.

“It can be a life and death situation when you’re stuck by the side of the road. It’s more than just inconvenient. When it’s icy, snowy and cold, you can wind up being possibly struck by another vehicle; you might might wind up being stranded and the cold affecting you,” AAA spokesperson Robert Sinclair said.
